Modeling Parts
FreeCAD provides two main workflows to modeling parts: combining objects (a method called constructive solid geometry (CSG)) using the Part workbench, or using a feature editing methodology with the PartDesign workbench. Please note that PartDesign work flow was considerably changed from v0.17 onward: some of the tutorials are yet to be updated.
